If Pogacar Were Female, Could He Win the Tour?

In the Vuelta a Suiza women's time trial, Marlen Reusser won with a time of 29 minutes and 36 seconds over 23.7 kilometers. The same course was completed by Tadej Pogacar hours later in 26 minutes and 38 seconds. The text argues that if Pogacar were female, factors like lower VO2max, hemoglobin levels, and muscle mass would reduce his power output by approximately 120-130 watts, making him unlikely to beat Reusser. sweetbonanza-app.com
